Well, I'm now hosted at ithium, and everything is going smoothly :) It took the DNS a couple of days to change, which really annoyed me, but it did allow me to get all the files online, so when it did change, the users wouldn't notice.

Being in the top year/class (as I've said before, one class per year) of my school, and my school merging at the end of the year, it's rather chaotic at the moment, and there'll be several blog posts about it in the coming days.

On Saturday evening, we had the first leavers' party, where my class as well as J3 and the teachers went to. Not much happened.

On Sunday, we had the second, featuring... a massive water fight :twisted:. I got rather soaked, and near the end, after a massive game of manhunt, we ended up pissing around, and I was jumping on the trampoline, I went towards the edge to get off, and then lost my balance. I fell off. I landed on my chin. It hurt. I was lying on the floor half laughing, and half crying. Several things were said about it, things like "Your the silliest thing I've ever seen."

Tomorrow is Sports Day, and on Friday we have Speech Day. I'll be writing about them when the time comes.

After the downtime in the last week, I'm closer to moving hosts than ever, while nothing is certin, it seems as if I'll be moving to ithium sometime in my Easter holidays (26th March till 19th April), I can immediately discount the first week, as I'm away on holiday in Majorca. The downtime was caused by my host having problems changing host.

I brought all of my websites back online over a period of a couple of days, doing each MySQL table at a time, and adding the subdomain when the site was ready to go back online, however, now everything is back online, it's faster than ever.

When I do move to ithium, they'll be almost no downtime, because I'll get the account, upload all my files, get all the MySQL databases ready, so as soon as the DNS changes, we'll be on a different server. It should also reduce the amount of downtime normally, which is good for both me and you :). It also allows me to properly start one of the projects I never really started, Speed PHP, as my current host doesn't have enough permissions on the server (only having a reseller acount) to do what is needed, however, I'll give you more on Speed PHP at a later date.

Also, almost all development of everything has come to a stop, as I've got other, more important things to do, like relax, after spending a couple of months of web developing. I personally recommend Gran Tourismo 4, brilliant game ;). On a more serious note, I do have real things to do, which need to be done.

Apart from that, there's little to say, apart from the fact I've quitely put version 2 of my wishlist online :). Remember, it's my birthday on the 20th April (yep, first day of term, aren't I lucky ;)). At least something to smile about has happened :P
